The
Hotel
Palazzo Vitturi is a three-star, 16-room boutique hotel on the piano
nobile of a lovingly-restored Venetian Gothic palazzo in the Campo
Santa Maria Formosa,which is one of our favorite squares in Venice. Both the
Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge are a short distance away on foot.
The hotel is especially notable for its decor, which
combines authentic Venetian woodwork, terrazzo floors, frescoes, antiques and
other traditional features with a contemporary Italian touch.
How to reach the Palazzo Vitturi from San Zaccaria:
There are several ways to reach the Hotel Palazzo Vitturi
from the Alilaguna Linea Blu airport-boat stop at San Zaccaria. We recommend
this route, which is fairly simple and requires crossing only two small bridges:
-
As you leave the boat station, look for a covered passage
ahead of you. The passage
is called the "Sotoportego S. Zaccaria," and you'll see signs for the
Ospedale (hospital) and the Carabinieri (police) above the
opening.
-
Go through the passage, which will lead you into Campo
San Zaccaria.
-
Continue through the campo and turn left at the
northwest corner.
-
Walk a few meters and turn right at the next corner into the
Calle San Provolo. Continue a short distance past the Hotel Fontana until
you reach a bridge, which will be on your left.
-
Cross the bridge, which will lead you into a short, curved
street named the Calle Corte Rotta.
-
Continue walking. The street will become Ragagiuffa (look
for a sign on the wall).
-
Soon, you'll reach a small bridge at the end of the street.
Cross the bridge to the Campo Santa Maria Formosa.
-
Walk straight ahead. The Hotel Palazzo Vitturi will be on your
right, facing the square and the church.
From the Marittima cruise terminals:
-
Take the Alilaguna Blue Line airport boat from the cruise
basin to the San Zaccaria stop.
-
Follow the directions above.
From the San Basilio cruise pier:
-
Leave the cruise terminal by the main doors and walk to the
wooden bridge.
-
Cross the bridge and walk to the vaporetto stop, which is
just ahead.
-
Take the No. 2 water bus in the direction of San Zaccaria.
-
Get off at San Zaccaria and follow the directions above.
